Personalize Your Light Timer (optional)
Your Built-In Light Timer
Your AeroGarden Mini has a built-in timer
that automatically provides your plants with
the optimal amount of “sunlight” (17 hours)
and “night” (7 hours).
As long as your plants get this amount of
light, it does not matter when the light is
turned off.
*
Many people find it convenient to
have the light go on in the morning and off at night
to match their own wake and sleep schedule.
*The exceptions to this are flowering and fruiting plants.
They require a daily dark period in order to produce flowers.
If your plants will receive any room light during the day
(either natural or artificial) we recommend that you set
your AeroGarden Mini lights to be on during the day.
In case of power failure, your AeroGarden Mini
has a backup system that stores your nutrient and
grow bulb timer settings. You will need to manually
reset the Off-On cycle for your light (see above) to
return to your previously selected light setting.
If the reflection from your AeroGarden Mini light is
visible from your bedroom, you may want
to set the light to go off about the time you usually
go to bed, so as not to disturb your sleep.
Now, each day, your AeroGarden Mini lights will automatically
• Turn on at the time you plugged in your AeroGarden Mini
• Remain on for 17 hours
• Turn off for 7 hours
You can reset your timer as often as you want.
If you would like to change the time of day your
light will go ON…
• Decide what time of day you want the light to
go ON.
• AT THAT TIME, unplug your AeroGarden Mini, and
then plug it back in.
